Lancome Juicy Shaker Review!

Hey guys! Last week I entered it into a competition to win a Juicy Shaker from Lancome, never actually thinking I would win, but received an email saying I had won one! It took about a week to come, but came in a lovely pink packet with my little box and juicy shaker! I got the shade Great Fruit 154, which is a lovely bright orange.

It definitely does not come out as pigmented on the lips as it does from the bottle, but they are lip glosses so I expected it to be quite natural. It is a sheer orange/pink and looks very healthy. The juicy shakers retail for £18 on Lancomes website and there is a huge range of colors for every skin tone. There is some berry colors, orange, purple, pink. Some have shimmer and some don't.

The applicator is very different to most lipsticks/lipglosses, because it is a sponge tip and you dab it onto your lips. Because of this you can make an ombre lip which i love, by just dabbing more product into the middle of the lip and softly blending it out. Overall, I really like this lip product and it looks very pretty on the lips, I would definitely buy another as the shades are gorgeous.


This blog post is quite short today, but I just wanted to do a post on this product, and I hope you guys liked it! Love, courts xx

Mini makeup collection: Bronzers/contour kits!

Hello everybody! For today's post I am going to be doing another mini makeup collection as I haven't done one in a while, and my post on concealers had quite a lot of views on it. This post is on my bronzers and contour products as I have quite a few. I absolutely love bronzers as they can add so much warmth to your face and give that gorgeous sun kissed glow. I have 4 bronzers, 3 powders and 1 cream. Then I have 3 contour kits.

My first bronzer is the Estee Lauder Bronze goddess which I bought on holiday in a shop that is like America's Sephora or England's Boots. I think it was about £35 but is a massive bronzer and has the most beautiful packaging. I bought mine in 03 medium deep because I wanted a darker bronzer. It is a very warm toned bronzer and does have quite a few orange tones in but if blended properly can look very pretty.

The second one is the Bourjous Delice de Poudre Bronzing powder. This is a chocolate smelling bronzer with the tiniest gold specks in, quite warm toned again but this one is very natural looking. I think this is about £7 which is an amazing price for a bronzer.

The third one is my Mac mineralise skinfinish natural in medium deep. Now I love this bronzer! It is baked, and gives a lovely finish and warmth to the skin. I think this bronzer retails for about £25 but is Mac so it is gonna be a bit pricier.

My final bronzer is the Bourjous Bronzing primer. This is a cream/gel bronzer and can be used as a primer or on top of foundation. It is very creamy and easy to blend so gives a gorgeous sunkissed glow. I think this is about £9 but I might be wrong, however is so worth the money!

Then I have my L'Oreal infallible sculpt contouring palette. I did put this in my blog a few posts back so if you want a more in depth review you can look there. This little palette has a contour + powder in it and they are both cream to powder finishes. This is £7 and I love it, the color is my favorite thing because it has a perfect mix of warm and cool tones.

The second contour kit is the Sleek Contour kit. This is a little kit, again with a contour + highlight, the contour powder is a lovely natural brown perfect for sculpting cheekbones and then a shimmery highlight which is very pretty. I think this is about £5 which is so good! If you don't have a sleek in your boots or Superdrug however the Seventeen contour kit is also amazing.

My final contour kit is this Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour kit. This is one of the older ones, and I would really like to try the powder version or the newer version of the contour kit as it has cooler shades in. This has 6 colours in, all cream, my favourites are banana, vanilla and cinnamon.

So that is all my bronzers/contour products, I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post and let me know what other mini makeup collections you would like to see. Maybe a foundations or lipstick post? Love, courts xx

L'Oreal Infallible sculpt range

So this week I decided to pick some of the new L'Oreal Infallible sculpt range as I have had my eye on it for a while and it was 3 for 2 so I thought I would do a review for you guys!

The first thing I bought was the Infallible sculpt contouring base, which is a foundation designed to help your contour to stick to your face, I didn't notice that my contour powder stuck to my face more than usual, but I did really like this foundation. It is a medium coverage but you can build it up, or apply a small amount for a light coverage.

Then I got the Infallible sculpt contour kit. In this kit there is a contour and highlight product, plus a little sheet to show you where to contour if you are not sure. I don't own anything like this. It is a cream to powder formula so when you apply it it is a cream but then once you blend it, it blends beautifully into a soft powder. I really liked this because of the formula of the product and it is the perfect shade. I find a lot of contour shades and bronzers are very warm toned, and can come up orange on my skin. I have very pale skin so this is the perfect mix of warm and cool tones.

The final thing I got in the 3 for 2 is the Blush Sculpt trio contouring blush in 101 soft sand ambre. You get 3 shades in this, a shimmery pink, a natural coral/orange and then a highlight. I picked this shade because I personally like quite natural blushes as again I don't want anything too strong on my pale skin. I really like this blush/highlight. I wasn't too sure about the blush but I just mix them together and it creates a beautiful sheen on the cheeks.

So that is everything I bought! I am overall very impressed with this range, I especially like the contour kit, however the other two are brilliant too. If there was anything that I thought needed improving, it would just be the range of foundation shades as there are only two shades available - light/medium or medium/dark. Definitely go and have a look at this range in Superdrug if your like contouring.  Love, Courts xx

Lush Haul!

Hey guys! So I recently got some new stuff from lush, 3 things from their Easter range and then one thing from the permanent range, and I thought I would show you what I got.

 So first off My auntie went shopping in Manchester and she got me the Bunch of carrots and the ladybird, which I am in love with! In the bunch of carrots, you get 3 carrots - a pink one, a purple one and an orange one (obviously). These smell like lemon and grapefruit, and they are reusable bubble bars so you just hold the carrot under the bath for a few minutes and you get a ton of bubbles!

 Then there is the ladybird bubble bar, which is a purple and red bubble bar, so you crumble this one under the running tap and again this is gorgeous! I believe these are both limited edition for Easter though so make sure to pick them up quickly.  This has a floral scent with Peppermint and geranium oil.

Then I went to Manchester myself and picked up my all time favorite lush product - the comforter. This is a bubble bar again, and retails for £4.95 so it is slightly pricey but if you are a lush fanatic like myself, then definitely try this one out, plus you get 4-5 uses out of the bar. It also smells like berries and vanilla sooo.. ( it has blackcurrant and Bergamot scents).

Finally my mum got me the Golden Egg! I have seen this a few times on Lush's Instagram page and It looks sooo beautiful! It is a golden glittery ( and I mean really glittery) egg. This is a bath bomb/melt and has a toffee scent with Colombian cocoa butter. Just make sure you clean the bath after you use this one haha.

So that is my Lush Haul guys! Hope you enjoyed, I worked really hard on this post and if you would like to see a demo when I do use them or what my bath looks like, let me know xx
